LindaSteller Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 After 10 years in business, I've finally been asked to do a quilt for the local quilt shop. This is the owner's quilt. I little out of my comfort zone, because you can't hide your outlining stitches around faux appliqué. It was fun to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaSteller Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Blush! I have to admit that I was a really good back-tracker (well, I still am), but I cheat a bit. I have an Intelliquilter on my Liberty, so my backtracking is always perfect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaSteller Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thank you all for the nice comments. I'm so bummed - I took it to the shop this afternoon to deliver it, and the owner wasn't in. She may not be there tomorrow either. I so wanted to see the look on her face, so I could tell whether or not she liked it. I guess she'll just mail me a check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitepinesquilter Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Was the feather border done with IQ also? I was sure you did those free hand but you had to go and burst my bubble! You did a wonderful pretty job on this! She should be very happy with your choice of designs. Really pretty, as usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaSteller Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Marci - almost all of that is done with the IQ. I did the SID freehand (and yes, I mean really freehand - no ruler), and I outlined all the faux appliqué freehand also. I don't use a ruler for SID when it's just vertical and horizontal. If there were diagonal lines to be quilted, I would have used a ruler for those. Now, you do need to realize that, even if you have a computer, that feather border consisted of several parts that needed to be fitted together and then nudged exactly into the space. It's not just a matter of pushing the button. Fortunately, IQ makes tweaking patterns into the perfect shape very do-able with their Distort, Shape Shift, and Magnet tools. I absolutely love my IQ.

KathG Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Linda, love how you quilted this top and your stitching around the faux appliqué looks great. I'm also glad you mentioned about the placing of feathers and the need for tweaking. I remember a while back reading a thread on Facebook were the people really think quilters with Computer systems just press a button and away it goes. There is so much more to a Computer system than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'd love to buy any scraps you may have left, that shows a full flower head or pixie face.

LindaSteller Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hmm. I don't know where my post went, so I'll try again. Rita - I didn't make this quilt. I just quilted it for the owner of a local quilt shop. She may still have some of the fabric.
